I was sitting here on the couch thinking about communication (I know, doesn’t get any more specific than that). Here, I think the one primarily distinguishable feature between face to face communication and online networking: a statement you hear out loud, depending on the tone, the speed at which it’s spoken, the facial expressions accompanying the words, -and so much more- can stay with you a lifetime while, on the opposite side of the spectrum, a quote you read online, in my opinion, can’t offer that effect on the individual. To see human interaction as a mere transferal of information from one body to another is to throw subjectivity out the window. The way we express our words with our physical gestures, our facial expressions and our vocal characteristics becomes in essence, almost equally important to the information we choose to transfer.
